Shooting Options: The Shooting Menu

CContinuous

Change settings to Continuous or Best Shot Selector (BSS). Flash will be switched off when Continuous or BSS is selected. Focus, exposure, and white balance are fixed at the values for the first picture in each series.

USingle (default setting)

One picture is taken each time shutter-release button is pressed.

VContinuous

While the shutter-release button is held down, pictures are taken at rate of up to about 0.9 frames per second (fps) when image mode is set to Normal (3456). Shooting ends when the shutter-release button is released, or ten shots have been taken with the shutter-release button held down.

jBSS

BSS is recommended for shooting under low lighting without the flash, with the camera zoomed in, or in other situations in which camera shake is likely to blur pictures.

The camera takes up to ten pictures while the shutter-release button is held down. The sharpest picture (picture with the most detail) in the series is automatically selected and saved.

At settings other than Single, the indicator for the current setting is displayed in the monitor (A6).
